At 4pm today French time zone, marks the 50th anniversary of our beloved 914 roadsters 1st place 2 litre GT class win at the LeMans track. In this pic is the leading 917 of quick Vic Elford, passing the Sonauto #40 914-6 GT. Vic set the fastest qualifying, and the fastest race lap of the 24 hour event, but engine failure at 18 hours claimed the car with a DNF. The #23 917 went on to the overall win, with the 914-6 GT finishing 6th overall. Both the 6 and 12 cylinder Porsche engines were designed by the late engineer Hans Mezger. It was a Great day for the boys from Weissach !
